WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic Party filed suit against Russia, President Donald Trump’s campaign and WikiLeaks on Friday, charging that they conspired to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, a court filing showed.

The party alleges in the federal lawsuit in Manhattan that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and tilt the election to Trump by hacking Democratic Party computers, the filing showed.

Discovery will be interesting. Let’s start with the logs. Did someone hack the computer and remain connected for the hours it would have taken to find and download that much data, or did someone on the inside provide it? Many other fun questions come to mind.

The GOP... ugh, well... forget that. They ain’t got the nads to counter-sue. This is about controlling the narrative when most of the country doesn’t know the truth and will never know the truth. Indictments Sessions? Nope. Not that either.

I believe it's already been PROVEN that the DNC files given to Wikileaks were downloaded onto a USB drive and not transferred via the Internet.

Seth Rich was furious that the DNC SABOTAGED Bernie's campaign. Seth knows but dead men tell no tales.

Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen. Children of foreign nationals born with multiple nationalities are not naturally Americans.

Nobody cares.

I know that it will never happen; but, wouldn’t it by hilarious if Vlad decided to submit a deposition. It might show that Russia was actually trying to get Hilary elected. A person can dream.

Too funny - they see the “Russia Collusion” story slipping away and need to keep up the attacks until the midterms....

Agree. This is insanely stupid of the Democrats.

...but that is redundant :)

Let’s start with the Espionage Act and private, non-sanctioned, servers with above top secret data on them, run by Pakistani nationals that fled the country. Then the deletion of emails after subpoena.

...time to order a dump truck full of popcorn.

That is what I was thinking. Let them show their proof and then let the real truth be presented and then march them to a military tribunal.

No! No!!! Don’t throw me in that briar patch!!!!

They DO realize now that even without any other action, they just opened themselves up to discovery?

That server they claimed was hacked, prove it.

That set of documents by Seth Rich that made it to WikiLeaks, prove it came from the Russians.

Countersuits against them conspiring with the folks at ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NYTimes, WaPo and HuffPo, along with George Soros and others would be devastating. Both for their criminal conspiracy to overthrow the election but to attempt a soft coup.

And if they request it today, can they prevent the DNC morons from blocking the request?

And yet it was one of two points the local “news” went with.

As I noted earlier, it seems that the Democrats spent more on the dossier, never mind this weasel hole of an “investigation”, than the Russians spent trying to influence the election in the first place.

In fact, I bet the actual illegal collusion between Hillary, the DNC and PACs spent many times more than the Russians.

They probably already have the NY jury picked and paid. While discovery could be fun, one would be crazy to counter sue and get this case in to court and likely lose in a NY court.
